Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:

I must be such a genius! Scientifically proven :geek:

At the risk of insulting/offending people (which I do not intent to!), I totally agree with the article.

How can any intelligent person believe all Fairy Tales preached by the Pope, ISIS, Mormones, Child-abusing bishops, Hate-imans and other religious speakers?
There is so much misary in the the world caused by religion.

Having said that: I do respect the free choise of religion and anyone can live the life he wants. As long as they leave me alone! I am a fundamental atheist :hattip:
I also respect and follow a lot of the Christian values and I do respects the community work of churches!
I also believe that the good and friendly attitute from Thai and Khmer comes from their Budist culture!

The previous posts could not have been the product of intelligence, because only religitards believe in intelligent explanations. I, a genius atheist, excuse the redundancy, know for a fact that cats could have walked on keyboards to type the orderly messages. Do you need intelligence to create the order of an internet atheists' post? Science says no. Do you need intelligence to create the order of a sandcastle? Science says no! National Geographic and North Korea's atheistic propaganda agree that erosion could produce sandcastles. We just haven't got the footage yet because bigfoot stole it! Yeah, that's it! No intelligence necessary! ATHEISTS WIN AGAIN! HURR DURR!

And keep in mind that from MY ATHEIST POINT OF VIEW, I can not see those who create comments. Therefore, they are as fantastic as God. I am glad that by not believing in hell, it therefore won't burn me. I am a genius atheist, not an ingrate seeking scientific justification for my evil pride. Hail Hitchens.

Is there such a thing as an atheist? I do not believe in god or religion but how does a universe get created out of nothing? if something created it how did the thing creating it get created? So the explanation of a religious person is a deity, and the explanation of an atheist is quantum physics or something. The last great mystery. Now I have a headache :facepalm:

youre assuming again
prove the nothing claim before asking me to cite to refute

but aside, don't know wouldn't equate to god
god of the gap fallacy argument that once was used to argue much else before we knew better eg where the sun goes at night
